Are you saying that some Windows Updates from August are fine? KB4344104 maybe? Any idea about Internet Explorer 8 Update KB4343205? How about Windows Media Player 11 updates? I don't think there are any from after 31 July 2018 though.

3.3 V is fine if you are using the PCB proposed. interrupt the 5 V pin with a VRM or 2 diodes in series.

I would be happy to get 2-2-2-2. 3-1-1-1 would be amazing. Isn't there 8 ns SRAM we could use? Even authentic 10 ns DIP SRAM would be a good start.

Yeah, no kidding. I remember a similar issue with XP not working properly on my K6-III system with updates. Perhaps related to updates requiring SSE. I'm beginning the process of determining which KB's will not work. Going to install everything (.NET, Security Updates, and Office) from July 2018 and …

Would emulating SSE2 on a Tualatin be painfully slow? Is it anything like how a 386 CPU emulates an FPU? In all likelihood, I will probably locate the latest updates for SSE1 and quit involvement. August 2018 isn't all that far away from the April 2019 deadline for POS2009 updates. To avoid negative …

Oh, nice find indeed. I guess you are referring to these two posts: DELL Latitude C400. Pentium III M 866. XP SP3 hack POSReady. Video Intel 830M.

It would certainly be nice to have at least one set (10 pieces) of good 12 ns 32kx8 for reference.

Gack. How does one virtualise SSE2? It is mentioned but not elaborated on in this KB article, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4088875/windows-7-update-kb4088875 I'm wondering if anything from February 16th and later requires SSE2. I think the date of no return is around there. But possibly …

I pulled two of my PIII systems out of the closet recently. One system is a dual PIII-850 coppermine, the other is a dual PIII Tualatin 1.5 GHz. They run XP Pro SP3 with POS2009 updates.The last I updated was sometime in late 2016 on the Tualatin and early 2017 on the Coppermine. Since I had the …

Sounds like I won't be upgrading the graphics card until I update the OS then. It would be nice if the firmware and/or drivers for the graphic cards could be adjusted to support new technologies, sort of like how a desktop CPU uses software mode to decode new video technologies. Whether that is …

I recall the exact same problem when using an PCI-based GeForce Quadro FX600. Only one alpha version of some Nvidia driver which was able to correct this issue. There was one later, non-alpha driver which worked, however the system would not soft reset. So I kept the alpha driver.

OK, so is it best to run the core clock in 200 MHz steps, e.g. 2600, 2800, 3000, etc MHz?

I'm not sure I understand. An AGP 3.0, 8x card is designed to work with 3.3 V signals? Or just the GeForce 6 series cards were designed to work with 3.3 V signals? I thought AGP 8x cards were designed to work with 0.8 and 1.5 V signals? Does using signals that are four times higher than AGP 3.0 spec …

Thanks for the information. The GT 1030 has no XP drivers, right? So I couldn't buy it now, use it with XP for another year, then upgrade to some other Windows OS? I'd have to be fully committed to ditching XP, and I'm just not there yet. From your response, it sounds like the industry is migrating …

Has anyone tried GeForce 6600 and 6800 cards, which contain universal AGP connectors, in AGP 2x motherboards? What was the outcome? Can a 6800 really run at the higher voltages of AGP 2X and how is this accomplished? Is there something on the graphic card's PCB to step-down the voltage?

I tried overclocking to 2.9 GHz with my FX60, but it just wasn't stable. Perhaps my cooler and IHS paste issue... I'll find out soon enough.
